Serving Size: 30

Cooking Time: 115 minutes

Ingredients

• 0.33 Cups butter, softened
• 0.67 Cups white sugar
• 2 Whole eggs
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) vanilla extract
• 1.75 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.33 Cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 Teaspoons (tsp) baking powder
• 0.5 Cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 Cups walnuts, minced
• 1 Whole egg yolk, whisked
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) water

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare baking sheets by greasing them or lining them with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the creamed mixture until well blended. The dough will be stiff, so mix the last bit by hand. Fold in the chocolate chips and minced walnuts.
4. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Shape each part into a loaf measuring approximately 9x2x1 inches. Place the loaves onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are 4 inches apart. Brush the tops with a mixture of whisked egg yolk and water.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the loaves are firm. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes.
6. Using a serrated knife, slice the loaves diagonally into 1-inch slices. Return the slices to the baking sheet, laying them on their sides. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes on each side, or until the biscotti are dry.
7. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Enjoy your homemade Brownie Biscotti!
